Scaffolding Rental Case Study

Project Overview:

Keystone Contracting Corp, one of the leading construction companies in NYC undertook a renovation project for a historic structure downtown. The project needed painting, facade work, and major repairs. Since our company prioritizes the safety of workers and high-quality service, our company opted for scaffolding rental services to boost productivity.

Client Profile:

Client: Historic Building Restoration, LLC

Location: Downtown Metropolitan Area 

Project Type: Façade Renovation and Repairs Duration: 6 months

The Challenge:  The structure is an architectural masterpiece but due to exposure to physical elements got worn out over the years. The facade was experiencing fast deterioration and needed comprehensive restoration services to get the building to its original beauty. However, restoration of the building’s facade requires access to various heights and other sections of the building for repairs, painting, and detailing. As a company that is committed to client satisfaction, safety is of utmost concern due to the building’s complex nature and age.

Keystone’s Solution:  Keystone Contracting Corp partnered with a professional scaffolding rental service to ensure the best material was used for the restoration. The partnership was to ensure we addressed the project’s unique needs. One of the perfect solutions we offered to aid and speed up the restoration process was providing scaffolding equipment.
